A remarkably versatile grape, Merlot has enjoyed considerable success in the New World where it thrives in cooler regions such as Margaret River in Western Australia. While it is often still blended for the most part with Cabernet Sauvignon, producers in Chile, New Zealand and South Africa create fantastic 100% Merlot wines. IWSC judges loved Jordan's Black Magic Merlot 2017 for its 'ripe plum and baked strawberry notes' on the palate.
